rule 6 needs an update? - tommyt127 - 01-09-2015
So rule considers using non-discovery mods cheating, yet there are several non-discovery mods currently being used (legally) by members of the community.
Such as:
Ui improvements
Sound improvements
And
Hotkey re-routing (not sure about this as I haven't used it)
Do I need to reinstall, or is the swag pack legal?

They are legal as far as they don't affect your gameplay. SWAG is legal. If it wasn't, there wouldn't be an entire topic dedicated to the SWAG packs.

Autohotkey, the key mapping tool, is not a Freelancer mod. It is a separate program that allows you to set up things like (CTRL)(ALT)G spooling out text for a greeting.
That said, there are USES of the program that Are illegal, like using it to spam /stuck.

Noted and furnishing of an "allowed list" (SWAG pack etc.) being discussed.

What's to discuss? In one of Titan sanctions, admins stated that any kind of third-party software, regardless of their effect, is in violation of server rules. Double standards or?

Ah ok
How about third party tools to alter the game, such as Nvidia Control Panel, RadeonPro and Dxtory?

..How about purchasing a 3D monitor capable of a 120HZ refresh rate, leading to 120 FPS with v-sync on? Is that, too, against the rules then?
Let's be real here

Quote: Disabling vSync to gain a framerate of 160 or higher.

The original post was not intended to cause a war.
The rule needs clarification as to freelancer specific mods and their legality
the fps rule seems clear already. 160. The end.
The current rule update seems to ban all mods including ui improvements and even lauchpad/fam
Code:
Changing account information and using any kinds of software that changes normal gameplaythis is why the admins are discussing a permitted list
